Crafting in Baldur’s Gate 3

Crafting in Baldur’s Gate 3 can be divided into two major sections – Alchemy (Elixirs, Potions, Grenades, and Coatings), Weapons, and Armor. Like every other classic role-playing game, this Dungeons and Dragons-based title also requires players to collect and utilize the ingredients to craft an item. Therefore, players must farm the necessary components to craft something that might aid them in battle.
